As good as it gets this beer makes you smile ear to ear. As soon as it gets close enough to your face you know something worthwhile is about to hit the fan; sh#t the golden goose would be envious to produce. From the smell to the initial taste on your lips, it's a fall in love experience that very few beers can replicate. I advise you to seek out this beer and have at it. Unfortunately, I only had one in my possession but i've sampled it a couple times before and it's always the same reaction--Good. Good god it's good.

The appearance if you defy the makers and put it in a glass is nice and expected if you pour a good DIPA. Golden, slightly hazy and with big porno head it looks inviting. One thing you'll notice is white snowflakes floating around as if this were the ghost of Christmas present's snow globe. It wants you to know to drink it now.

The smell is a sweet bouquet of hop, pine and fruity citrus. Oh, it's fresh too, like the wet morning dew on a blade of grass. Each whiff is like getting in close with the incarnation of Carmen Miranda. The aroma is memorable.

The taste is what will reel you in big fish. It's hop, it's floral and fruity, it's bitter yet sweet. Bitter sweet since this was my only one and living in Florida keeps me forlorn from its ambrosia. Citrus and fresh grass swirling in a vortex of hop is what I get, maybe a hint of vanilla in it. A splash of orange flavor, and you can throw in a grapefruit taste too. It's welcome to the jungle and it's all fun and games.

Great drink ability is the lovely conclusion to a great tasting and fragrant beer. I feel this beer will make true believers out of anyone fortunate to drink it. I'm usually a stout guy, I love the malt, the semi-sweetness with coffee and chocolate flavors, the thick hearty nature of it's character and yet I find myself thinking this beer is easily in my top three beers ever. It's drinkable, it's drinkable now, later and between, in any pocket of the multiverse and moment in the time continuum; but drink it now before it's too late.

And why is it everyone can bash the sh#t out of us Christians, but heaven help us if we dare say anything bad about Moslems.

Hey - you Moslems! You're all a bunch of Habeily bomb-making suicide wankers who veil your girls, even though there's nothing in the Qu'ran about it.

[Actually, my next-door neighbour is a practising Moslem, and the coolest guy ever. I really respect him, and his religion.]

Now, why did I post? Um .... I forget. Has something to do with the margarita I just drank [I had to type that three times to spell it right] and the bottle of Old Vine Foch I just opened, from ---- I hate to admit I'm drinking Cdn. wine, but it's pretty good - Bee Cee.

Now, do any of you wine aficionados know what/who Foch is? And no looking it up! In other words, don't do as I do, do as I say!

So, Dr. F., as one of McTopo's all time Nameless, Faceless and not necessarily Dickless anonymous types, what is your Real Name and hometown, please? Is there a photo of you in the "who the hell are you" post?

I googled painted dudes and while not much there, and only one picture of neeked dudes, painted, I did find a link to a climbers blog;http://southernadirondackclimber.blogspot.com
But of course his file sizes are so huge it is still loading.
And of course the only picture I got to see was of BOULDERING.
